Because games, as an emerging art form, are significantly easier to control than most of the media that passes through their devices. And even that is an understatement.

I guess I fall into the "not doing evil things" crowd, but? does killing Fenix in Brood War count? It's sort of forced on you. But damn, that still hasn't lost its impact for me after all these years.

These three comics, in addition to being completely awesome, are also relevant to disucssion: http://thecriminallawyer.tumblr.com/post/13990708347/3-rehabilitation-for-the-love-of-god-why http://thecriminallawyer.tumblr.com/post/14205718659/4-deterrence-dont-do-that-again...

Oh, you think it's SO FUNNY, don't you. Well let Dr. Gene Ray, Cubic and Wisest Human, school you hard. You say the earth is round? Then how do you respond to this? "The eyes of the flounder fish were relocated, why were yours relocated? you think Education is for primary purpose Subject...

And then John was a zombie. Can it be a snickerdoodle? I love snickerdoodles. Oh, right. On topic. People who understand evolution: do want. Being unnecessarily inflammatory: do not want. Being irritated and lashing out at people who don't understand things as well as you do? well, I...

Mine's a wooden slab that normally covers a stove. Not very aerodynamic, but all told, it could be a lot worse. Unless they take a slightly less literal definition of left and I end up with an oven mitt. That would be bad. (yes I use my laptop in the kitchen don't judge me)

Random AVP flash game as the predator. I'd ask if I get to keep my abilities? but it would only buy me a few seconds anyway? so? Or on the other hand if I'm allowed them I might be awesome at it. In that highly unlikely scenario, I would be having the best day ever. More interesting...

I think on any given day I might stray from the boundary line into either neutral good or lawful evil. Occasionally I'll put a toe into Chaotic Evil, but I can't ever stay there long. Not really my thing. I'd like to the the geometry of a space that would let me do such a thing...
